Swearing at School

What’s Your Policy?

Article Sections

Here's how seven teachers answered this question: How do you keep school language clean?

Appropriate Language for the Occasion & Place

Formal & Casual Language

I teach at-risk high school students the difference between formal language and casual language. I explain that formal language is the language of the work world. I explain that I expect them to practice formal language in my class. All this is taken from Ruby Payne's program. When they slip, I simply ask them to find a better way to express their thought. They have no trouble following this practice most of the time.

-Beverly Kinnischtze

In and Out of School

Our district handbook lists bad or obscene language as a Level lll offense, meaning that a student can be punished with anything from a student conference to suspension. Our school uses Ruby Payne's Framework for Understanding Poverty. Our children are taught that the offensive language they hear in their neighborhoods, at home, or on the basketball court are not acceptable in school. There are two sets of rules and the set for school does not allow obscene language.

-Judy Whitson

Street Talk v. School Talk

I have worked with "ghetto" kids, military kids, and kids from high-income neighborhoods. With all of them, I demand respect and I act as a role model for the students. I let them know that the language they are using in my classroom is just "practice" for when they go off to college or the work force.

If they say "yeah," I say, "I'm sorry, didn't you mean 'yes'?" After a few weeks, they get it and I see them catching themselves. If they tell you that it's "street talk," let them know that there is a difference between school and the street. I usually get the students by asking, "You wouldn't say that in church, would you?" And they understand.

Inform parents about your concerns about the student. Sometimes the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, but no one wants their child to represent them with foul language. Being both a mother and teacher, I know from personal experience.

-Angela Martin

Creating a Positive Environment for Everyone

Consistency

Consistency is the key. Every swearword must be addressed immediately. If a student says “I don’t think that’s a swearword, I say, "In this room it is." I not only address swearing, but I also address any language that is not "kind" or positive. I say, "We don't talk like that to each other." You must start at the beginning of the year and constantly remind the students and praise them when they use kind words.

-Natalie

Nix On Being Negative

I’m a big proponent of maintaining a positive outlook no matter how bad your day is going. When I set up my expectations at the beginning of the year, the students find out right away that not only is swearing not appropriate in school (including the hallways and locker areas), but also being negative toward each other or themselves in any way is unacceptable.

Students have also learned my rule "It's the meaning, not the word," so they know I don't accept substitutes for swear words, like "aw snap" or "oh fudge." The students are learning that maintaining a positive outlook is not just good for school, but helps one mentally all-around.

-Holly Butler

Mutual Respect

I teach 10th-12th graders at a low-income school with a bad reputation. Being a first-year teacher, I was overwhelmed with the swearing. It's in the halls, my classroom. It's part of their normal vocabulary.

It did not take long for students to realize that part of the mutual respect between themselves and me is the lack of swearing. If profanity is blatant and direct, I ask for an apology. Nine times out of ten, the student has already caught himself and has self-corrected and apologized.

We must remember these students are almost adults, but many of them come from homes that do not value a profanity-free environment. We have to be flexible and willing to forgive the occasional expletive that slips out from frustration. So much is accomplished through behavior modeling by the teachers and staff, and a true, genuine respect for the students as people.

-Paula Rice

Policy

Swearing Intentionally?

Whether in the hall or classroom, when I hear an offensive word, I just call out to the individual(s), "Language please," in a polite tone and normally the immediate response from kids is "Oops, sorry!"

If someone is belligerent or in-my-face, I ask them politely if they want to take care of this now or if we need to invite the principal in for a discussion about vocabulary choices. Only once in a blue moon am I taken up on that one.

Our policy: Swearing intentionally without stopping after a reminder equals in-school suspension. Swearing repeatedly with intent to upset people, and/or swearing at a staff member is an automatic out-of-school suspension.

-Kimberly Fandi

COMMENTS:

Swearing can be difficult. I too have sworn at a student and got into trouble with the parent. When speaking to the parent about it I laid out the situation and admitted my fault. I assured them that it wouldn't happen again. I assure them that I truly do like having their child as my student and I like their child and want their child in my classroom so that I can have the opportunity to show their child that we all make regrettable mistakes in life but it is extremely important to fix it as best we can and move forward. I tell the parent that this is a chance to learn a lesson that is sometimes more importantly grant than what we are teaching in class. Good luck!

No matter how bad the curse word is or where it was said the punishment should not be too severe. That will be bad for the student and will encourage them to swear even more.

**** | 2017/06/25

I think swearing is fine as long as it's not directed at someone. While swearing should be prohibited in class to ready students for the working world, it should be allowed in the halls and outside of school.

Mat | 2017/06/22

I sweared at a friend after school at like 5:30 and a teacher said why would u say that and after she said I'm talking to your teacher. Will I get suspended?

Swearing is good

choclate | 2017/06/12

I think it is divesting that we swear so much

Daemon | 2017/05/25

Although swearing seems good for expression it is not because in time all that you can use to explain for describing a situation or person are those words. That does not inspire creativity. I conquer with the respect of school teachers and police officers alike.

Abigail webb | 2017/05/22

If cursing at a police officer is legal then why isn't it at school?? We shouldn't get punished for our speech. Its the only way we can express ourselves and if we want to use those words then let us use them. Yall know DANG well yall cussed as a kid so why censor us?

Josue | 2017/05/11

I think swearing is necessary. This entire article is fake. Trump should delete this website while he makes america great again

Kaleb lahr | 2017/05/09

We should be able to speak our mind too. We are americans too and we are people we are the same as yall. Yall are just older we are all protected by the constitution as well we deserve our rights too.

teachers have not rights to be protected from verbal assault and bullying. However, the student and his/her parent should be legally responsible for verbal assault and battery. Protect teachers' rights in classrooms!

please tell me I'm not the only one who went through all the

you seem like a pretty strict teacher but for the love of the devil you seem like a god **** feminist,like any little thing can **** you off,a student should be able to swear in school in the hallway its a form of speech,swearing is just a everyday thing. its just a word that SOME people find offensive.

freedom of ****** speech 1st **** amendment....

Han | 2017/03/20

School should not have a say in what we say such as ****, and oh **** and when the teachers tell us to find better ways to express yourself, guess what *************, they just telling you to impress your feelings and that's stupid as ****. In the real world there is cussing, sure teach them how to act in a work environment but don't stop them from fully expressing their feelings thru words how they want to. I'm a kid and what I've noticed is a lot of the times they start hating the teachers and start acting how the teachers want but only around the teachers. When the teachers aren't present they take out their anger and frustration on other students after or before school.

Schools do not need to interfere with our right to speak, im pretty sure people even cuss in jobs, I've heard teachers and heres another thing, we did not come from their **** and we did not come out of their ******, so there is no reason for schools to tell us not to cuss simply because the rule is simply hypocritical.

I just swore in front of one of my more "chill" teachers, and I said the f-bomb because he ate his lunch in the room and it smelled so I said It smells so **** disgusting in here! (Not thinking he was in the room). Then he turned around and said " Woah, watch your language!" laughing it off. I was absolutely mortified.

I raped and banged your mom last night | 2016/12/05

Dude, seriously, swearing is part of the world now--this is 2016! Get used to the real world because it's not going to be a "no swearing" world, it's only going to occur more often, so get lives and notice what really is happening in the world, USA is not a utopia.

cooper | 2016/11/15

im in 7th grade and i have something to tell you all. First Amendment rights, applied in light of the special characteristics of the school environment, are available to teachers and students. It can hardly be argued that either students or teachers shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate . . . . [S]chools may not be enclaves of totalitarianism. School officials do not possess absolute authority over their students. Students . . . are possessed of fundamental rights which the State must respect, just as they themselves must respect their obligations to the State.[138] this means they can not take away your rights there for you can swear in school

MGarcia | 2016/08/11

I am most concerned by the fact that your organization posted a response from a teacher that called her students 'ghetto kids' openly and broadly to make a point. The content of this page is completely lost on me, given the lack of sensitivity in word choice. This is less about political correctness and more about being accurate in our word choice and considerate about how we define communities of need and socioeconomic issues.

Dante | 2016/08/05

when I say something bad my teacher punishes by sending me to the corner of the room and ties my feet and makes me hold my toes sge tells me I need a lot of discipline so she often ties me or spanks me to as punishment and my mom gave her permission

Neo | 2016/07/10

Goat, you are a sick *******. I am straight, but honestly you shouldn't bully anybody. LGBT are just like us. Donald Trump is straight. Would you like LGBT people to look at him and think all straights are like that?

john | 2016/06/25

I am presently classified as a level two offender for using profanity at school. It has endangered my entire education. I deeply regret my actions, but when a school decides that a formal hearing is preferred to speaking directly with a student, I think the system has failed. darn my life.

Alannah | 2016/06/15

i really don't think swearing should be banned, when you think about it we deem certain words "bad" but really there just word and when you think about it its pretty stupid to ban certain words because that's "foul"

Yeah | 2016/05/24

i agree! on days like this, big papi, kids like you...
deserve to burn in h***!

elemenohpee | 2016/05/24

I cannot believe the language of the other students in my school. We have a "no swearing" policy, yet my classmates seem to think it just fine to swear at the teachers. And as for you "Big Papi", I would say that kids like you are the reason that America as a whole is going to the dogs; every year, the students that come in through the high school doors as freshmen swear more and more. And they don't care who hears them. This happens in every school I've been in. My sister's 1st grade class is filled with students who don't care about who hears them have a contest of who can swear loudest and dirtiest. I mean COME ON PEOPLE, question: when do we have to bring in a communist government to set us right as a people. Answer: We are getting ready to elect one right as I speak. It's either Trump or Hillary at this point, and neither of them are a good choice.

Bullying LGBT people is fine. They threaten others more than straight people. A ******* once threatened a girl with a picture of a gun telling the girl to be her girlfriend by the end of the day. She was smoking E cigarettes in classroom. Many students told teacher on her but school didn't punish her.

I was sitting in the back of tech ed talking to my friends about kfc.Im trying not to eat meat but someone is bringing it to me today.So i accidentally yelled "ahhh Sh**" and Mr.Bi**** called me to the front of the room not saying anything and started writing a referral then he made me sign it.I only sign it out of respect bc my mom would kill me if i was disrespectful to a teacher.There are kids back here saying things 10 times worse than me.I accidentally slipped a curse word and teachers like to over react.

Ethan | 2016/05/02

i cust at a teacher once and i want to know how to stop please give me a response.

Madison | 2016/04/27

What should happen when the one cussing is the teacher?

Cyberbully | 2016/04/21

I agree with ****. You should always respect your elders. Modern children just don't learn that there days. If it's a 6th grade boy, kick his ****. If it's a girl best up *****.

Although there are some words that we see as curse words or obscene, I have never seen a list. I don't think that anyone has the right to decide if a word is good or bad. In the dictionary, a cuss word is defined as a word with a negative connotation, so that means there is much more "cursing" going on in schools than is punishable. I have seen teachers decide that "shutup" was a vulgar word and was punishable. Unless schools can produce a definite list of obscenities, students can not be punished with the administrators discretion

Kermit | 2016/04/15

Civil society sets norms, totems and taboos to elevate it. Those who seem to think trash talk makes them cool - destroy it. I see no reason to discard them all and keeping them we keep society at a modicum of civility in our verbal interactions with each other. Using the basest of unsavory language cheapens us and lessons our enlightenment. Sort of like the post here that uses filth every other word or so. I would not like that person in real life and not much here. Those self imposed restrictions allows us to find meaning in words that are not trashy and/or hurtful or just plain inconsistent with being courteous and kind. Those who wish to destroy reasoned, rational and healthy exchange one step at a time or just all at once with filthy talk - take all decency out of our discourse like "not-so-serious" here and others and seem to subscribe to the chaos theory on everything - that "anything goes" and once you get what you want throughout society you condemn all people to sink to the lowest level possible like water spilled on the ground. Finding its lowest point and we all get pulled into the sewer and gutter of individual depravity that took us thousands of years to get out of. Some people just never learn and some just like being less civilized than animals. Sometimes those simply norms, totems and taboos and simple self-control of our mouths like the rudder of a ship bring out the better angels of our nature. Without them the demons escape and make us darker and disgusting.

Unknown | 2016/04/04

I was just walking down the hallway and said, " I don't care about that fuvksing ****!" as I passed the office. Th teacher then came into the hallway after a few minutes and told me that we may be chatting later on tomorrow. For one, I wasn't using the word in a way that was offensive. Number two is that I wasn't even speaking to him. The third problem that I have with how he reacted is that I was practically gone before he said anything. I really don't understand why they got mad at me. I wasn't disrespectful. I see profanity as a way of giving raw emotion in our speech. He must've seen it differently. I even apologized and was still penalized. ^.^ I felt that this was very unfair.

ryan nicole hill | 2016/03/29

stop cussing high scholars or you will get in trouble with your parents and teachers.

E.Rod | 2016/03/16

There is no such thing as a bad word, it is just a word. We have made the words seem bad by the way we express them. profanity is used, and will continue to be used as long as we teach that using it is bad.

Chris | 2016/03/04

What if students are simply procededingt down the hallway with a friend and say "man that *** was crazy". The constitution grants us freedom of speech under the parameters that it does not threaten, harm, or disrupt the learning enviorment. So is it reall y a bad thing to curse, or is it just bad to curse in a mean way?

Brendon Urie | 2016/02/19

Who Cares

IcedupGucci | 2016/02/12

I personally think that swearing is not the best thing. Victims of swearing don't need to be less sensitive, the people cursing need to watch their mouths. Also the words are not bad because someone said they are and made a rule about them, they're bad because they all have an offensive meaning behind them. And I don't wan the little excuse " there is cursing in the Bible". NO there is not! Quit being ignorant and try actually reading the Bible so you will know what you are talking about.

notsoserious | 2016/02/04

first of all i think its just ridiculous how people think of cursing as bad and how people keep drilling the bad language **** into each others heads and into their childrens head i legitimatley think that if you were never told cursing was bad you would curse because its just a word its not the words thats bad its the description and besides whats so bad about it? it isn't, its only bad because we were told its bad and because we were told its bad its a rule thats been spread through generations. so you know what? before you get onto someone for hearing them curse think about... were they taught about the rule or are you just letting a rule make you their (bad definition :3) "*****"

what is a good way to stop cussing? i have been doing so for over 3 years and i have gotten suspended from school twice for this

Jack | 2016/01/01

You have to tolerate profanity. There are many mean people in the world who try to hurt others. Victims must learn to not be so sensitive.

Miriam Bugden | 2015/12/24

Recently, I addressed a student who shouted the word "***" several times in our halls. I was later told I should never correct another teacher's student, but ignore the behaviors and speak quietly with that student's teacher. Morally, I struggle with this policy. I am a role model for students and cannot turn my head when someone is potentially offending others. No need to shout, I merely believe in explaining why these words are unacceptable.

Jake | 2015/12/10

One thing you need to know is that I noticed is kids start cussing in school in the 3rd grade up. After 5th grade at least every kid in the school swear to their "peers" or to people they don't like

esddeds | 2015/12/09

Kids should not swear at ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Larry Heitman | 2015/12/09

What do you do when the Middle School your child attends shows PG13 movies to 11 and 12 year children with curse words, other inappropriate language and uses God's name in vain?

Miabool | 2015/12/05

At my school, everyone uses inappropriate language and disobeys the rules. I have never even stepped on the school lawn. I have never used bad language. But the influence of the other kids is still shocking. Every so often I find myself using "'cause" instead of because. I correct myself of course. I am astounded by the language some kids will use. They all assume I am what they call innocent. Unaware of the language they use. I am in fact very aware, I just am wise not to use it.
Some schools are just terrible these days. We did a poll, and 22 students supported capital punishment and 8 were against it. The sole reason was because it cost less to execute the prisoners. Education has gotten progressively worse. It is not only a teacher's duty to teach curriculum, but also to teach morals and important values.
I am thankful for the teachers such as the ones from the comments who still care about the language kids are using.

Wow, if you would not say it too your child or minister, etc., then just don't say it. If you curse, your business, just keep it private and out of the public. Free speech has nothing to with cursing and encroaching on the peaceful existence of others. Peace out.

Austin | 2015/04/14

I was recently written up for telling my friend about a rap that happened near by to me. I used "3 way and Bj in a sentence" I don't think that is profanity if you are telling a story about something that happened and it was throughout class change. A warning should be acceptable for this type of behavior or a detention

Hi i think that all students should be allowed to cuss because it is just expanding their vocabulary and giving them more ways to express themselves.

Today a student got in my face and said "****, I don't give a *** after I told him to please put his books back neatly under his desk. I feel terrible about it but I lost my cool and said "well then get the **** out my classroom!"... I'm a brand new teacher and have never ever said a cuss word in the classroom so I don't know what to do now.... Should I go talk to the principal before all of this blows up? :/ I know I should have controlled myself but it was just a really heated moment and it was too late :(

Kenny, as a Christian and a secondary teacher, I am going to address your issue regarding The Bible. It has nothing to do with reducing swearing in a classroom setting.

I am thirteen years old. Today at school, another kid made racial remarks at me. I told him "That's not ****** funny." and the teacher made me write her "code of ethics" and threatened me with detention. This is absolutely ridiculous and I will complain to my school. Using profanity is emotional release and an act of resilience that makes us feel stronger. Although others consider it wrong to use profanity, nobody should be punished for cursing to assert and defend yourself.

Tía | 2014/09/24

I agree with Nate - why is this being discussed as a class issue? That's rather disturbing. Teens (and adults) from a range of backgrounds use expletives, I find it elitist to pretend or assume otherwise.
That said - I agree that the best approach seems to be to make it clear that there is informal language that can be used outside of school and formal language which should be applied to professional situations. Words are like clothes - you probably shouldn't wear your PJs to work, and you probably shouldn't wear a tuxedo to bed. You could, but it would reflect poorly on you and likely make you uncomfortable!

Nate | 2014/08/18

Many of these teachers mention working with low income kids and their swearing. I work with privileged kids whose families pay just shy of 50K a year to go to school. It is not a class thing!

I am a 14 year old I believe that we should be able to express our. Minds in whatever way we want I personally do not swear usually but many of my very bright friends do they get a bad rep because they swear but they truly are brilliant they get straight a's and are still treated like garbage the school system must change to meet every students needs.

Heard from several OKC school teachers that there is so much swearing in the hallways and classrooms of the schools and no punishment is ever given and it is not even addressed anymore. It is very sad because a few years ago we had a 'Maps for Kids' election where OKC citizens voted to pay for new schools, etc. in a one cent temporary sales tax. What good is it to have shiny new schools and allow swearing...

Sam | 2014/04/01

I think it's an issue but in some schools we have a book to inform parents. Writing in a book should be enough because in our culture this happens on a regular basis. You cannot stop kids from being kids but you do have to control them. It is 99% impossible for someone to make a student perfect and never do bad things.

Church is not just a "Southern" thing; plenty of people across the nation attend church regularly. Some of the biggest Catholic churches are in northern cities. However, the point is that she was simply showing the contrast between language and its appropriate places. For example: Would you put your faith in a Doctor that started his conversation with you by saying, "So, yo dog, lemme holla atcha..." You wouldn't and you know it. There are appropriate places to say things and there are inappropriate places to say things. It isn't propaganda, its reality.
Personally, I am atheist. I do understand her example. In order to be a good Atheist, though, I must practice the tolerance that we believe the religious people not to have. So, Be tolerant of Angela's example because though you may disagree with the environment, her example itself is quite valid.

perplexed | 2014/02/19

I work in an urban setting where 3500 high school students curse like they are using conjunctions. They also make racist remarks. Because admin doesnt support the teachers, no one says anything about it. But if a teacher slips up out of frustration the student body and admin acts like we are at a Christian school. I'm not saying it's professional, but it's human when you work with students who don't want to learn. You feel bad for the students who want to learn. You just do your best.

No_One_Important | 2013/11/28

No cussing in school period. Its not your garage, your backyard or a private party. School is school. The school is also a workplace for adults who should not have to go to their workplace and be harassed all day long and subjugated to students using obscene vulgarity towards each other and at aggressively at adults while inside the classrooms. There should be a middle ground somewhere between letting the kids say whatever they want or using a taser on them. I lean about 3/4 the way towards the taser side on this one.

i'm writing out a 500 word punishment on why swearing is inappropriate in school, as i got caught swearing. this did not help me at all..

My school allows cursing as long as you don't use it to call somebody names, talk about someone, or yell at someone. Any of those reasons result in suspension which in my school district suspension and expulsion are done at an alternative site and not at home.

I've got a lot to say on this. First, I'm dissapointed with the first comment where the teacher yells at and curses students. As a teacher, it is my first responibility to teach for the benefit of society, not the degradation of it.
On the last comment before mine, "Aren't we ignoring the 1st amendment for these kids." No, look up the First Amendment Center at unprotected speech (speech not included under the First Amendment): profanity is close to the top of that list.
Someone else mentioned that kids cuss behind the teaher's back. Naturally and sadly this is true with the lack of quality parenting we see so often. But, the important thing is that SOMEBODY has the guts to remind these kids that profanity is far from being acceptable in all places and with all people. People will say what they want in private, but they do not have the right to subject my ears in the process. I am proud to hear of a school who does not sit down on this important and often overlooked issue.
THANK YOU.

As a teacher I love swearing at kids, they really need to learn their place so i yell and scream and curse them out even the black ones.

A High School Senior | 2013/02/08

As a student in high school, I hear "profanity" on a daily basis. Trying to cull this sort of phrasing is like disallowing Google/dictionaries/calculators in general classrooms because they'd be "cheating," when in fact, they'd be properly training students for the real world. When we're out in jobs, we're going to speak how we wish, how we wish. We're not going to sit there for an hour doing a single math problem when there is a piece of software that would make them far more efficient. Culling "obscene language" is not going do jack

Sandy Stealey | 2013/01/10

What about movies that have profanity to the extent that some kids do NOT hear outside or at home? How can they allow those in schools then expect kids not to mimic their "educators"?

Alisa | 2012/12/07

Language and free speech are beautiful and should not be regulated. Teachers should worry more about the children they are failing and not how much they can control one's life.

MaKormick C | 2012/12/04

Here at my high school, no one has respect for profanity. People say certain things and then when are asked to stop, they lie about even saying certain words. Teachers and students are tired of profanity to where I took this situation and started a group at my school called PAP. People Against Profanity. Hopefully it will work and reduce profanity.

TL | 2012/11/29

GT and Tamsin DeMello have the right idea on this issue. It isn't about freedom of speech or that certain words are taboo in society. It is about the meaning and intent behind the words that some students decide to use. Cursing is very similar to violence. For some people, they are constantly exposed to it. This tends to desensitize them so they genuinely have a hard time stopping. As a teacher, we are not just trying to teach students topics. We are trying to help students become productive members of society. People who curse in a professional environment degrade the professional setting. Also, it is unbelievable the ignorance of some of the people in these posts. And "kidsrights", we are not limiting students' free speech rights because it has been proven multiple times in the US Supreme Court with many different cases that students in the classroom do not have the same rights as they do outside the classroom.

kidsrights | 2012/11/15

Aren't we ignoring the lst amedments for these kids

Tamsin DeMello | 2012/11/06

There is a time and place for everything. Formal language should be used in school just as it is in many jobs. Cursing should not be allowed in school because it is disruptive and often offensive as in "F**k you you dumb b***h. As parents and educators, we are preparing children for adulthood which means communication skills needed for college, careers, and relationships not prison. Now what I found fascinating when I was young was learning where these curse words originated, some history. ie, **** = For having Unlawful Carnal Knowledge. Children and young adults use them to fit in, to be accepted, and because its taboo. We need to teach them to save it for when they're hanging with their friends outside of school. Otherwise what is next, free love in the classroom?!! I don't think so.

GT | 2012/10/24

This is not a discussion about words. As an English teacher, I have had the discussion regarding slang or conversational language and how it differs from the formal registry. Furthermore - it is not about eliminating words from our student's vocabulary rather correcting the poor word choices that many of our students make. Language, like behavior, should be adapted to each situation or circumstance. Swearing might be acceptable during a pick-up basketball game but definitely not in the school building. It is an issue that deals with choices. Trying to correct that behavior and model proper language choices is crucial.
Furthermore, any language, cursing or not, used to disrespect, intimidate, or harass students or teachers should not be permissible in an educational setting. Students who engage in this behavior should be suspended. Because, in essence, its not about words - its about decisions and choices.

Concerned Linguist | 2012/10/07

This is quite frankly an asinine discussion, the moment people grow up and stop getting offended over every little thing is the moment we start making progress as a society. Profanity is an important part of a culture as well as language as a whole, labeling it as "crude" and "uncivilized" is extremely ignorant. I can understand concern in cases where excessive profanity is used, however as an example if I was to like use like any word like like excessively would that not sound just as "crude"? What needs to be taught here is not the all out removal of words from one's vocabulary, but in fact the addition of more words. When every word offends someone, somewhere what words are we left with? Just some food for thought.

Anonymus student | 2012/09/21

Swearing is un-exceptable but I will admit that i do it 24 7. im trying not to bcuz i get in trouble 4 it alot. sorry i just cant help it and i aint gonna bite it lol

logan z w | 2012/08/12

Well, profanity is definitely a big issue in my school, I am going to be a sophomore in high school. I noticed that most of them have a very short span of words, and that span includes a lot of cussing. Therefore other students will cuss as they do not know the other correct terms they can use that is not vulgar etc.. I just simply wish teachers would make their students stop, and think of a replacement then they can go on. I think that is what will help the students most, as I am a student myself.

bryson hammond | 2012/08/09

3 Reasons why I curse
1. Because I ******* want to
2. Because I ******* can
3. Because nobody can tell me what i can and cannot not say you ******* ******* ****** i cant believe this its childish ******* stupidity here your complaining about people cursing i got some news everybody ******* curses you ******* *****

CO Teacher | 2012/02/10

Harly,
Are you totally disillusioned? An "F" bomb is never an appropriate way to express yourself. I'm a teacher at an inner city school. If we "rubber stamp" the use of profanity we encourage it. Individuals who are searching for upward mobility will never find it if the feel inarticulate vocabulary is acceptable everywhere. Imagine if congress, the president, the leader of the teachers union, the principal or even the teacher spoke this way. Their jobs would be terminated- who wants someone representing them that can't articulate themselves but substitutes profanity.

Anonymous English teacher | 2011/10/30

I admire teachers who take a stand against swearing and crude language. If we don't teach courteousy, who will? Holy Butler, you're a hero to me for your stand against the meaning -- not just the word. However, while "snap," "flip," and "oh man" may sound silly for formal papers, and might be replacement words, I do allow those words in casual conversations -- if students seem to be being nice. Just because a student says "oh snap" that doesn't mean she actually means the alternate word. When I say "snap" I only mean "snap." When silly alternative words to swearing are used, listen for intonation and context. Maybe she just wants to use a funny word to express that something went wrong, and she has no intent to be rude or shocking. Unfortunately, there is a swear word for just about every letter of the alphabet, and while we want to encourage manners, we might invite mutiny if we completely take away the right to express disappointment. Well, it does sound good to discourage "gosh" "heck," etc. I don't like those words. But "snap"? That seems about as innocent as it gets.

jo jo jackson | 2011/10/17

I'll mention it several times that the classroom is not the place for swearing. Some classes they apologize and stop.. others that seems to make them use the "f" word more and more and to get louder and cruder than ever- usually I just ignore them and put up with it... other days I've called security and had them removed but I know I can't do that a lot - don't want to keep bothering security

Harly Denword | 2011/08/04

I do not believe this is correct. Swearing is IMPORTANT! Kids HAVE to swear. An a F Word is good! Like they get their books, and then a kid pushes them whenever on purpose or or nor, a bit of a "What the **** are you doing?" is actually healthy. Also it so happens that "****" is accepted as unacceptable. This bad! If a student can't swear at least 10 ******-s a day are good! Otherwise students feel depressed. Also teachers also cuss. I have heard in my childhood a teacher saying: "bit**" and all kinds of swear words (I've heard "sh*t" and **** and others)! Also **** is believed to be a bad word. Forgive me the language but this is ****. **** is normal word and a lot of people go there. So please be careful. Here's what I think.
Thank you!
